ABOUT
We all want to experience more joy in our day-to-day lives, but it can be hard to know where to start. This card deck is designed to help you remove the overwhelm and start delighting in every day. Created by UK-based positive psychology practitioner Sophie Cliff, Sprinkles of Joy features 50 cards spanning five categories that are scientifically proven to boost joy and happiness in your everyday life:
• Connection: Research tells us that connection is the biggest predictor of joy. These prompts encourage you to feel more connected to the people in your life.
• Savoring: Savoring the moment is all about intentionally focusing on the positive aspects of our experiences. The cards in this category will help you to appreciate what is already good about your life.
• Gratitude: Studies suggest that there is no joy without gratitude. These prompts are pivotal for building the habit of joy by inspiring gratitude in your everyday life.
• Creativity and Learning: Research shows that learning and creativity are essential to positive wellbeing. These prompts contain joyful ways to infuse both into your life.
• Mood Boosters: Sometimes we just need a quick pick-me-up, and the cards in this category are designed to deliver exactly that.
Whether you want to start your day with a joyful mindset or end your day in self-reflection, these cards are the perfect companion on your journey to living a truly joyful life. They also make a beautiful gift for a birthday, coworker, holiday, or just because. You can enjoy the cards in Sprinkles of Joy on their own, or pair them with Sophie Cliff’s book Choose Joy for deeper personal growth.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
